For Sale: 1958 Mercedes-Benz 190 in St Louis, Missouri for sale in Saint Louis, MO
Vehicle Description We are proud to offer this beautifully restored 1958 Mercedes 190SL.
Finished in its original color of Strawberry Red metallic, it has beautiful beige interior and correct black convertible top.
The 190 SL presented an attractive, more affordable alternative to the exclusive Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, sharing its basic styling, engineering, detailing, and fully independent suspension.
Both cars had double wishbones in front and swing axles at the rear.
Instead of the 300 SL's expensive purpose-built W198 tubular spaceframe, the 190 SL's R121 structure used a shortened unitary floor pan modified from the W121 base saloon.
After acquiring this older restoration, we had our shop undertake a thorough freshening of this fine car.
Under stewardship of its previous owner, it underwent a comprehensive restoration and a photo album of that process accompanies the car, This was a very solid car with good floors which were repaired during that earlier restoration.
While acceptable, we felt the overall condition of this car warranted a higher standard.
Consequently, our shop has replaced the floors with OEM quality replacements so that it is now as nice underneath as it is topside.
Among other work we've installed new Mercedes OEM chrome rocker moldings and a new top in the correct canvas material along with new chrome top bow and new top boot.
The bright work and chrome is all very good without any pitting.
The interior is in great shape with clean, unmarked seat upholstery.
.
The engine has been rebuilt and retains its original Solex carburetors.
It has good oil pressure at all temperatures and maintains a normal temperature range when underway.
The transmission shifts well and has had new shift linkage bushings recently installed.
Overall, the car runs and drives very well.
